I can't use keyboard in firefox

Locking duplicate thread. Please continue here: [[/questions/1001917]]
it happens when i typed one word many times 
a dilague box appears with the options yes or no 
i press no 
taaadaaa i can't use my keyboard

Hehe thanks for that, but I'm coming at this from the angle of not having a mouse to do that. I realise the obvious answer then is to plug one in, but I'm hoping there's another, keyboard-based way to do this.
In IE, the Flash player is considered a part of the page like any other, and pressing Tab a few times to cycle through all the Flash buttons will then return you to the rest of the page - is there no similar method in Firefox?

2011 MBP can't use keyboard or trackpad or external devices following installation of usb prober.

First, I was having trouble with a USB mouse, so I went looking for information about troubleshooting that.
Someone suggested installing USB Prober, which I found and attempted to install.
The installation asked for a restart, so I restarted.
At login screen, I can't use keyboard, mouse (trackpad), or any USB devices.
I'm able to use key combinations at the beginning of boot, so I reset PRAM and NVRAM or whatever they are.
I was able to use key combinations to boot into my Windows partition, and into single-user mode, and into safe mode, and verbose mode.
--Using the Windows partition appears to be useless for fixing the Mac problems, as far as I can see, since I can't modify the filesystem that way.
--In single-user and safe modes, I still can't use the keyboard or mouse.
I found this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4021048?start=0&tstart=0
But that discussion reached no conclusion, and as I said, I tried that one user's suggestion already.
Super frustrated; please be charitable and save my sorry butt.

herpaferpaderp..afjppr-alurp

No; no no; I don't need the developer forum--I'm not trying to use USB Prober. For all I care, I don't need the USB ports right now. Forget them and the stupid tool, and being unable to use the stupid tool.
I just want to be able to use the keyboard and trackpad, as I was able to before installing the stupid tool.
If you can, help me make everything the way it was before the developer tool. Without going to 781 forums in 36 languages and as many hours. My brain is puny and will implode.

Flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener

flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener
cn:英文有些差不好意思，附上中文说明：在flash player web 开发时，我在最新版本的sarafi上，目前出现不能响应键盘事件bug,为了验证是不是我本地问题，我也用在多款别的网页游戏上进行测试，全有这个bug，另外，有时还有那个fp弹出本地缓存提示设置窗口也点不了“允许或拒绝“那些按钮

Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

I have a Discover Card site that gives me a one time charge number and I can not use it with Firefox as it says I do not have a browser open or available

On Internet Explorer I can use my Discover thing to fill in any form needed but Firefox won't allow it as it keeps saying there is no available browser. How can I change that and what does that mean? I am not a computer person

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Content panel -> place Checkmark on '''Block Pop-up windows''' -> click '''Exceptions...''' button and click '''Remove All''' button -> click Close -> click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working. IF it still doesn't work, do this:
* Go to your concerned website
* Right-click empty space within the page and click '''View Page Info'''
* In the '''Page Info''' window, select the '''Permissions''' panel
* Under '''Open Pop-up windows''', place/remove Checkmark on '''Use Default''' and change the setting to '''Block'''
* Close the Page Info window
* click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
For more support, you can also use these extensions together:

I am Unable to Type or use Keyboard in Firefox 18.0 anywhere including URL bar and Search Bar. how should rectify this?

I am unable to type anything or use keyboard to type in Firefox. I am using Firefox 18.0 installed on Windows 7.
I am able to Paste into the URL bar and also the Search bar but absolutely not able to type in it.
I have already tried the "reset" option but still unable to type.
Also tried Firefox in safe mode with disabled addons but still unable to type.
Installed a fresh copy of firefox after uninstalling Firefox and deleting the old folder "Mozilla Firefox" from windows. but still unable to type.
Please tell me a solution to this.

I'm not on a laptop so I don't have a FN key. But on my desktop F9 + Windows key appears to have resolved the issue for me. Thanks for the help!

I can't use RealPlayer with Firefox version 5. I must have the previous version back to do my work. How can I get it?

I depend on RealPlayer for many things - work that I can only open files I need with it. There isn't a version that now works with the newest version of Firefox. How can I get the previous version of Firefox back so I can use my computer to do my business work? Unfortunately I can't wait for updates on RealPlayer to keep meeting updates to Firefox. I can't use version 5 of Firefox because it disabled RealPlayer - hence Firefox has made my doing work on my laptop impossible if I use Firefox, If there is no remedy to go back a version, I'll just go back to IE exclusively. Money is money. Thanks so much for your help!

I had this same problem when my school's email page refused to work in Firefox 5. I solved it by installing the User Agent RG extension, then changing my user agent to IE7 before accessing my school email. Once you install the extension, you'll have to show your menu bar when you want to use it, then you'll find the User Agent submenu under the Tools menu. Hope this works for you, too.

[PROBLEM SOLVED] After last update, Can't use keyboard in Xorg

Apparently the last system upgrade installed "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-1-i686" but I reverted back to "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686" and everything is working again.
Lesson learned: put all xorg related packages to hold because my geforce2 mx440 won't need updates.
This is just frustrating. After doing a system upgrade (which upgraded xorg to version 1.5) I can't use the keyboard anymore. In fact, my screen would freeze also, as long as I was using the latest Xorg version. This machine's card is a geforce2 mx440.
So I downgraded xorg-server with pacman -Rd xorg-server and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-yadayada1.4yadayada; Fine, I can use the mouse and open X just as normal as before. BUT the keyboard seems helpless.

Perhaps you can find some help here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging (or in one of the many threads about xorg 1.5 breaking input devices)
No Idea about your problem after downgrading (expect just as a guess, there is some problem with xbinkeys when it is autostarted with the window manager -- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65468).

Can I use Safari and Firefox on the same Macbook Pro?

Can I use both Safari and Firefox simultaneously? I like Safari but my online banking requires Firefox.

Hi Seunarine
Unfortunately I cannot explain why your User Agent selections are greyed out. Please start a new Discussion since this one is so old and few people will see it. Perhaps someone else will be able to help. Thanks!

Can I use the new Firefox Beta for Win 8 on a non-touch screen computer?

I installed Win 8 on my somewhat old laptop (3 and 1/2 years old). I don't have a touchscreen on it, I don't want to use Internet Explorer, and I badly want to use the new tile Firefox and help it's development. I installed it and tried to enable tile mode but it is not offered in the settings at all. Is it possible to use it without a touchscreen?

Hi Marko,
Unfortunately work on the tile interface was discontinued due to low interest. You can find more information here: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/
The code lives on, so the project could well be restarted in the future. But for the time being you can only use Firefox in its traditional "desktop" interface.
Sorry for the bad news!
